Autonomous Coding Agent Demo
============================

A minimal harness demonstrating long-running autonomous coding with Claude.
This script implements the two-agent pattern (initializer + coding agent) and
incorporates all the strategies from the long-running agents guide.

Example Usage:
    python autonomous_agent_demo.py --project-dir ./claude_clone_demo
    python autonomous_agent_demo.py --project-dir ./claude_clone_demo --max-iterations 5
